 ABSTRACT

There has been a tremendous rise in the use of the renewable energy resources. Global wind

energy capacity soared by a fifth to 238GW at the end of 2011. India is the 5th largest player

globally, accounted for 16 GW. Wind energy is an important form of renewable energy as there

is no greenhouse gas emission compared to non-renewable fossil fuels. There has been a rising

demand for wind energy ever since its first implementation.

This project work studies the power-speed characteristics and the torque-speed characteristics

and the fundamentals of wind electrical systems along with the modeling of the various wind

turbine features and simulation of the same using MATLAB-SIMULINK. This paper develops a

simple

DFIG wind turbine model . This paper deals in conversion theory of (d q) model . By using the

equations of d-q model, dfig equations are simulated in matlab Simulink .

CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Motivation;

This known to all that the burning of fossil fuels are having a vital influence on

the global climatic conditions . Effective changes in the climatic condition will

require deep reduction in the emission of green house gases . The electricity systems

are viewed as more easier to transfer to low carbon energy source than most of the

challenging sectors of a economy such as surface and air transport . Hence the

significant use of cost-effective and reliable low carbon electricity generation sources,

in addition to demand-side measures are becoming the most important objective of

energy policies in many countries. Over the past decades, wind energy has been accounted

for the fastest rate of growth among any form of electricity generation with its

development stimulated by concerns over the climatic changes, energy diversities and

security of supply by many policy makers. The maximum energy that can be taken out

from the 0-100 meters layer of the atmosphere has been approximated to be around 10 12

kWh per year , which is having the same potential as hydro-electric generation .

Advantages of using wind energy:

1. it is a clean source of energy .no emission of green house gas so no problem of ozone

layer depletion .

2. it can be harnessed easily and having its availability in abundance .

3. it is simply a different form of solar energy which is caused by the non uniform
heating of earth surface and revolution of earth .
4. its price is very less costing around 3-4 cents kwh so it will also help in developing
the rural area where wind is available in abundance by making wind mills in farm and
ranches .

14
1.2 Relevant Terms:

Power Contained in the Wind: This is the same as that of the kinetic energy of the

flowing air masses per unit of time is given by

= ( )
= ( )

Betz limit:

It gives the maximum energy that can be extracted from the flowing wind and is
given by

= =

Tip Speed Ratio:

Tip speed ratioor (TSR) of any wind turbine is called as

2
=

1.3 VariousTypes of Wind Turbine:

1.3.1 Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT):

A horizontal axis wind turbine has its blades rotating on a axis which is parallel to the

ground. It is the most common type of wind turbine.

15
Advantages of HAWT:

Variable blade pitches provides the suitable angle of attack and greater control along with

good efficiency. It is located on taller towers therefore subjected to some greater wind

speeds. Usually a 10m increase in the height of a tower provide 20% increment in wind

speed. Since the blade moves at an angle complementary to that of the wind speed

therefore drag forces are greatly reduced which causes increment in the power output.

Disadvantages of HAWT:

Greater construction costs for the larger structures . Also the transportation cost

increases significantly. Production of noises affect the radar operations. Great wind speed

and turbulences may lead to that of structural failure. Additional Yaw Controlled

mechanisms are required.

Horizontal axis wind turbines are further classified into:

A) "Dutch-type" grain grinding windmill:

B) Multi blade Water Pumping windmill:
C) High Speed Propeller type Wind Turbine

1.3.2. Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT):

A VAWTS have its blades rotating on the axes perpendicular to that of the ground. It is not

used widely for the commercial purposes compared to that of the HAWT.

Advantages of VAWT:
Mounted close to the ground so tall structures are not required. It is having less
cost and easier maintenance, lower start up speed and very lower noise. Yaw control
mechanisms are not required.

16
Disadvantages of VAWT:

It has lower efficiency due to that of the additional drag forces, due to lower height

they can't capture great wind speed at the higher altitudes, generally they need some

additional start up mechanism as they are having zero starting torque.

Types of VAWT:

A) Savonious Wind Turbine

B.) Darrius Wind Turbine

1.4 CONTROL METHODS FOR WIND TURBINE

1.4.1. Terms related to Aero-foil Dynamics:

Pitch Angle - Angle between that of aero-foil chord and plane of rotation.

Angle of inclination- Angle between the relative velocity vector and the plane of rotation.

Angle of incidence (attack) - Angle between the relative velocity and the chord line.

Drag Force- Force along the direction of the relative wind velocity.

Lift Force- Force normal to that of relative wind velocity.

Thrust Force- Component of total force along the wind velocity.

Torque Force- Component of the total force along the aerofoil velocity.

17
1.4.2 Types of control in wind turbine:

a) Pitch Control: Angle between the rotation plane and the turbine blade is varied. It

depends on that of wind speeds, rotor speeds and power output. Blade is turned out when

the power is very high, they are turned in when the power is very low. It is a relatively fast

method and can be used for limiting the rotor speed by regulating the input aerodynamic

flow of power, it is having a good power control, a assisted start up and a emergency stop.

Unlike that of the stall control it need not to be shut down beyond some certain speed.

Efficiency decrease at high wind speed as the pitch angle increases to drop some power.

b) Stall Control: It is one of the simple, cheap, and robust and its inherent aerodynamic

properties of the rotor blades help in determination the output power. These

aerodynamically designed blade help the rotor in stalling (losing power) process .It is used

for constant speed wind turbine. As the wind speed increase the lift force decreases and

drag force increases. It is noisy, very sensitive to particles on the blade and initial blade

angle and has a lower efficiency compared to that of the pitch control, even for rated

speeds.

c) Active Stall: Combination of both pitch control and passive stall control. These

blades are pitched similar to the pitch controlled turbine for low and medium speeds.

Unlike that of a passive stall there is no drop in the power at higher speed as the blade

is rotated by few degrees in the opposite direction compared to that of pitch

controlled.

CHAPTER II LITRETURE REVIEW

2.1 OUTLINE:-

In this section, the characteristics of wind pertinent to energy conversion will be presented;
followed by an introduction to wind energy conversion systems. The equations governing
such systems, their components and performance characteristics will be described in
detail.

2.2 WIND ENERGY:-

The natural motion of air in the atmosphere, wind, is caused by pressure differences across
the surface of the earth do to the uneven heating via solar radiation. From studies of fluid
mechanics, this flow of air can be analyzed as mass flow with kinetic energy given by:

= (1)

E= (2)

P = (3)

Where A is the area of the incident air stream, U and _ the velocity and density of the
flow respectively. Generally, A, the stream area of interest is taken as the area swept by
the rotor of a wind energy conversion system (WECS). Such systems convert the linear
momentum of the air stream into a rotation of the WECS rotor, with a maximum possible
efficiency of 59.26%, referred to as Betz limit. Furthermore, it can be observed from
above equations that the available power in the wind increases at the cube of the air
velocity, and from a substitution of A for the area of disk:

P= (4)

19
2.3 WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM

To date, there have been a variety of WECS designs; however by far the most popular
and widely used is the horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT). As made clear in the
Introduction, the design of interest is the low-cost, low-power HAWT design common in
rural and urban applications. Such systems are becoming increasingly popular and consist
of following 4 main components:-

Rotor assembly

This consists of the blades of the turbine, along with the hub; upon which the blades are
mounted. The performance of a wind turbine is greatly affected by blade geometry, and in
many designs, this component is also the most expensive part of the turbine unit.

Drive train

Connecting the rotor to the generator is the drive train. In larger wind turbine systems, the
drive train includes gearing to increase the speed of rotation from the rotor into the
generator. Small turbines do not have this feature; the drive train for these systems is
simply a connecting shaft.

Generator

The generator converts the mechanical rotation of the drive train into electricity. Small
turbine generators are commonly of the 3-phase, permanent magnet type; however other
generator types have been used.

Controller

To protect the system, in addition to converting the output of the generator to domestic
voltages, a power electronic interface converter is necessary.

20
2.4 Performance of a turbine:-

As noted, the performance of a turbine is greatly affected by geometry. Characterizing this

performance is commonly done with a Cp-_ curve; a plot of power coefficient to the tip
speed ratio of the blades. The power coefficient Cp denotes the efficiency of the blades in
extracting the power in the wind, whilst the tip speed ratio (TSR) is the ratio of the speed
of the blade tips to the air stream. The relationship is found as follows:

= = (5)

= c(,)
Thus, Cpis the fraction of power that is transferred from the wind to the turbine blades. As
previously mentioned, the theoretical limit for this is approximately 59.3%.

Q= (6)

= (7)

Where is the torque coefficient in Nm developed by the rotor.

Here

2.5 wind turbine emulation:-

Among any machines dc motors are mostly used for the purpose of the emulation .here for
emulation control system is used in the way it is shown in the figure inputs for these
control purpose are speed and torque.motor current is used for the estimation of the motor
torque . The input variable is introduced in a microprocessor that has kept the turbine
curves and whose output is the reference torque for the DC motor.

CHAPTER III INDUCTION GENERATOR

induction generator and asynchronous generators are type of A-C electrical generators
that use the principle of an induction motor to produce power. these generators operate
through mechanically rotating their rotor in that of the generator mode, having a
negative slip. In many of the cases, a regular induction or A-C asynchronous motor is
used as a generator, without doing any type of modification .

3.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Induction generator produce electrical power when their rotor is made to rotate faster
than that of synchronous frequency. Taking an example of a typical four-pole motor
operating at a 60 Hz electrical grid, synchronous speed value is 1800 rotations per minute.
Similarly four-pole motor operating at a 50 Hz grid will be having synchronous speed
equal to that of 1500 rpm. In normal motoring operation, stator flux always rotates faster
than that of rotor flux . This is setting up ofstator flux to induce rotor current , which
creates rotor flux with opposite magnetics polarity to that ofstator. In this manner ,a rotor
is behind the stator flux, by the value equal to that of the slip. In generator
operations, a prime mover drives the rotor above that of the synchronous speed. The
Stator flux still induces electric currents into the rotor, but since the opposing rotor fluxes
is now cutting the stator coils, active currents are produced in stator coils, and motor is
now starts operating as a generator, and sends back the power to the electrical grids .

Grid and standalone connection:

In induction generator the magnetization flux is established by the capacitors banks

connected with machine in case of the standalone system and in case of grid
connected system, it drawmagnetizing currents from the grid.

Forasystem connected with grid , frequency and voltage of the machine is dictated by the
electric ,grid since this is small in comparison with the whole system.
For standalone systems , frequency and voltage form complex functions of machine
parameters, capacitances used for excitation, and the load value and their type.

23
3.2INDUCTION GENERATOR CONNECTED WITH GRID

Grid connected induction generator (dfig) develops their excitation from that of the
grid. The generated power is fed into the supply system when the IG is made to run above
that of the synchronous speed. Machines having cage type rotor feeds only through the
stator part and mostly operates at low negative slips. But wound type rotor machine can
feed power through the stator as well as rotor part to the bus over a wide range of speed and
is known as Doubly Fed Induction Machine .

FIXED SPEED GRID CONNECTED WIND TURBINE GENERATOR:

The structures and performances of a fixed-speed wind turbines are shown in Figure
given below whichdepends on the features of mechanical sub-circuits, like pitch control
and time constants etc .

Fig 3.1: squirrel cage IG connected to grid for fixed speed .

The action time of circuits lie in range of the tens of a millisecond. As

a result, every time when a gust of wind hits the turbine blade , a rapid variation in output
power can always be observed. These variations for the generated electric power not only
requires a firm power grid for enabling the stable operation, but also require a well-built
mechanical designs which has the capability of absorbing high mechanical stresses, that
leads to expensive mechanical structure, especially for highly rated electrical power.

24
Variable Speed Wind Turbine Generator:

More convenient turbines are variable speed turbines. Variable speed turbine
has become one of the most dominating type wind turbines installed yearly as they can
store the power fluctuations due to turbulence by increased rotor speed, pitched rotor
blades, these turbine controls the power output at any of the given wind speeds.

Fig. 3.2 shows a variable speed turbine connected of a Squirrel Cage type Induction
Generator SCIG. Although these direct online system has been built for 1.5 MW, but
presence of power inverter causes a lot of disadvantages such as :-

a) The power converters, which have to be rated at 1p.u. of total system power, is
very expensive.
b) Converters efficiency plays one of the most important role in determining total system
efficiency over the entire operating range

Fig 3.2: variable speed wind turbine with squirrel-cage induction generator

Other way is using of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator DFIG, as shown in Fig.3.3 It
consists of a stator connected directly to the grid and a rotor through slip rings are

25
connected to the grid through four quadrants ac-to-ac converters based on insulated gate
bipolar transistors .
This system has the following advantages:

1. Reduction in inverter cost, because inverters rating is typically about 30% of total
system power.
2. Improvement in the system efficiency.
3.implementation of power factor control strategy at lower cost.
4. It is having a complete control on the active and reactive power.

Fig 3.3: Variable speed wind turbine with doubly-fed induction generator

The dfig with the power converter shown in Fig. 3.3 is simple and highly controllable way
to transform the mechanical energy from variable speed rotor to a fixed frequency electrical
utility grid. Dfigs are popular because it can supply power at constant voltage and
frequency.

26
CHAPTER IV TRANSIENT MODEL OF A DFIG

4.1 Turbine modeling:-

There are two ways in which we can divide the complete control strategies of the
machine, one is the scalar control and the other one is the vector control. The limited use
of scalar control makes way forthe vector control. Although it is easy in executing the
scalar control strategies , but the inherent coupling effects present give very slow
response. This problem is overcome by the vector control . An Induction machine can be
executed like a dc machines with the help of vector controlstrategy . Vector control is
employed for achieving a decoupled control for both active and reactive powers. The
base on which the vector control theory is based is d-q axis theory.

4.1.1. d-q axis transformation (reference frame theory):-

Direct-quadrature zero conversion is a mathematical conversion employed to make easy

the analysis of a three phase circuits, where three AC quantities are converted to two DC
quantities. Various mathematical calculations are performed on the imaginary DC
quantities and the AC quantities are again recovered by performing an inverse
transformation on the DC quantities. It isvery similar to Parks transformation, and it
solves the problem of AC parameters that are varying with time. Employed to simplify
the analysis of three phase circuits, where three AC quantities are converted to two DC
quantities . Owing a smooth air-gap in the induction machine , the self-inductances of
both the stator and rotor coil is constant, but the mutual inductances vary with the rotor
movement with respect to that of the stator. Therefore the analysis of the induction
machine in real time becomes very complex because of varying mutual inductances, as
the voltage is nonlinear. Change of variables aretherefore employed for the stator and
rotor parameter to remove the effect of varying mutual inductances. This conversion leads
to imaginary magnetically decoupled two phase machine. The orthogonally placed
balanced windings are called d and q windingsthat can be considered as stationary or
rotating relative to that of the stator. In the stationary reference frame , the ds and qs axes
are fixed on the stator, with either ds or qs axis coinciding the a phase axis of the stator. In
the rotating frame, the rotating d-q axes may be either fixed on the rotor or made to move
with synchronous speed.

27
4.2. Transformation from 3-phase stationary (a, b, c) to 2-phase stationary (ds,
qs) axes:-

Here we are having three phases having a difference of 120 angle between each of them .
This can also be seen in the figure .our purpose is the transformation of the 3 phases into
Stationary (d-q) axis and then there transformation into rotating frame .

29
4.3 Mathematical modeling of Induction Generator:-

In this section the basic mathematical modeling of DFIG is described . From the previous
section we got that the three phase parameters is represented in two phase parameters and
vice versa using some basic rules. In this section the modeling of machine is explained by
taking two phase parameters into the consideration. Although the basic concepts behind
the DFIGS system are explained in short we can say the DFIG is a wound rotor type
induction machine, its stator consisting of stator frame, stator core, poly phase (3-phase)
distributed windings , two end covers, bearings etc. The stator core is made by stacking of
cylindrical steel lamination which is slotted along their inner periphery for covering the 3-
phase winding. Its rotor consists of slots in the outer periphery to house the windings like
stator. These machines work on the simple principle of the Electromagnetic Induction
and the energy transfer takes place by the means of transformer action. So the machine

4.4 Modeling of DFIG in synchronously rotating frame:-

The equivalent circuit diagram of an induction machine is shown in picture below. In this
picture the machine is represented to have two phase , it has been discussed before that a
three phase machine can be represented by following some basic rules as a two phase
machine. For the modeling of DFIGS in the synchronously rotating frame of reference we
have to represent the two phase of stator (ds-qs) and that of rotor (dr-qr) circuit variable in
a synchronously rotating (d-q) frame of reference.

CONCLUSION:-

The theory of wind turbine was analyzed in detail leading to the modeling in the
synchronous frame of reference employing a doubly fed induction generator. dfig
modeling was done and equations were simulated in matlabsimulink .The wind turbine
modeling has been done using Simulink,various curves like ( -), ( - ) was observed

FUTURE WORK:-

Since future power generation depends on renewable energy so there is a lot of research
work to be done on wind energy conversion systems .in this paper in future any body can
work on the control part of the model by designing voltage and current controllers .

With the development of modern type controllers stability and dynamic characteristics of
an induction generator connected to grid can be improved.
